Just reading over the "What was wrong with MK DA" post by Ray, and I had a couple ideas that may change MK for the better, as we know it.

Imagine this, Player one picks Sub-Zero. Player two chooses Cyrax ( Robotic form, not Human, if he exists in the next game ).

Player one and two fight until Player one wins.

Sub-Zero performs whats called a Character Fatality.

Sub-Zero freezes, Cyrax.. Causing Cyrax's circuts to overload because of the water in the ice, causing a massive malfunction, hence causing Cyrax to explode.

Yes, I know these would be very hard to impliment for each character to have a Character fatality but imagine if each character had their own special fatality per character they were fighting against?

Second Idea:

Instead of doing Mortal Kombat, and fighting everyone in the game like you always do; how about keeping the sides ( Good guys vs Bad guys ) straight.

Like if I play Cyrax, I'm going to fight people like Mavado, and et cetra. No fighting people who are on my own side. I've always felt that the teams wouldn't kill each other..

If you choose a wild card, say someone like Scorpion, you'd have a couple different paths to your goal, because you'd have a "Chose your own adventure" style MK. You'd have the choice to betray the Good Side, and kill off Jax, or You'd have the choice to befriend the good side, and kill of Mavado, or Kano. Over all the number of decisions you make ( good or evil ) would affect the ending you get with the wild cards.

Thoughts?

Great ideas, but I'm afraid that we won't see such things in MK6.

Fatalities specific to 2 fighters is unlikely- just think- if you had 10 fighters, that would be 55 different things to animate... maybe there'll be a few special combinations that'd get a specific scene but not all.

As for good/bad specific enemies- i wouldn't be surprised to see this. Not difficult to implement (just have enough players, and not let good fight good etc).

Is it true that good guys perform fatalities on good guys in mk5? I say it's silly but does the computer ever do it?

I like the character specific fatalities, but that could take too much time to do for all of the characters; maybe if it was done for characters that are just enemies?

Example: Scorpion beats Drahmin, but instead of doing the normal spear fatality, he does something more horrifying to Drahmin to get revenge on him for throwing him into the Soulnado. Maybe rip him to pieces slowly and painfully?

Your other idea about fighting only good guys if your bad, and bad if your good, is something that I'd like to see.

Maybe both of these ideas can be used in a seperate Story Mode for the game, something seperate from Arcade mode? That way, different endings could even be incorporated!

Stick with fatalities how they have them. You seem like you are trying to make the game more realistic, but the stuff they do isn't realistic anyway so leave the fatalities as they are.

For example:
Johnny Cage beats Scorpion and does his fatality, punches him in the head and rips out his brain so on and so on.
Johnny Cage now beats Cyrax and does the same thing. How can Johnny Cage punch through a robot? Who cares. It's an awesome fatality and I don't care how he manages to do it.

If that is what you were getting at, maybe I changed your mind a little.

I haven't gotten the time to think of what would happen if Allies fought against each other, what would happen with Allie Fatalitys, maybe they'd be something like Sonya kisses Jax ( make it a bit of a sorrowful goodbye ), then Jax explodes. I'm not sure, I'm sure the creative minds at Midway can find a way through my loophole.

As far as members of the same side not wanting to kill each other, what about Kano and Mavado? Quan Chi and Drahmin? Reptile and Shang Tsung? (although I suppose Shang had no intention to kill Reptile unless it was in self defense.) Hell, even Frost and Sonya appear to have some animosity.
